translation? (including the dream on part)

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

Australia doing great so far. Trail by 375 runs.

**Aus: 151/0

Hayden: 83
Jaques: 55**

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

hayden is in a class of his own
really dominates the bowlers like nobody else can
jaques must be happy he is back, more importantly, australia must be extremely happy that he is back, what a difference he makes every game!

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

100 for Hayden, what a player :salute:

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

some cheer, 2 gone. Ishant somehow managed to find the timber behind Hayden. What a ball.

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

RP's injury is bad news.
Now we are one bowler short in addition to already being one batsman short.
If the Aussies manage to score 550+ by tomorrow lunch and declare, India might be left fighting with their back to the wall.

btw, Kumble should look to bring on Sehwag now.

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

is the pitch unplayable? cant belive aussies run rate is low

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

Friggin Australia's batting order is one stalwart after another.

After these two biggies - Clarke, Symonds and Gilchrist are to come.

And it does not end there - Bret Lee, Hogg and Johnson are not exactly runovers with the bat.

Seems near impossible for this bowling attack (minus RP) to dismiss Australia twice on this kind of pitch.

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

Aussie overall run rate is 2.88 despite a century from a player as attacking as Hayden.

I think its because India is bowling in the so-called "right areas".

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

bowlers are bowling well after lunch
especially ishant sharma was amazing

but after tea
78.1 Kumble to Hussey, 1 run, dropped by Dravid at first slip, it's a difficult chance, Hussey pushed at one away from his body, the ball flew low and near his right boot, Dravid couldn't get down in time and the ball brushed his finger tips, India miss a chance right after tea

i think that was catchable, but dravid was sleeping
that wicket would have been huge for India

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

Bowden simply does not give any LBWs.

I think he has figured it is safer for him to not give an LBW than give a batsman LBW wrongly.

Hussey and previously Hayden already saved by Bowden.

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

BEAUTY......AND GONE!

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

Listening to the all Australian commentary team(+Tony Greig) is an absolute pleasure.

They have such great sense of observation.

Tony Greig was talking about how Pathan was setting up Hussey...and that Pathan was going to bowl the ball he bowled to get rid of Hussey.

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

Mushtaq Ahmed, in his expert views which he knows from the back of his hand, would have done a much, much better job.

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

i think that should have been given
ponting not offering shot to sharma, he just cant play sharma

Re: 4th Test: Australia vs. India at Adelaide, Jan. 24-28, 2008

Ishant impressive again, this time on a batting track.
